| May 22, 2017 Viki Men's 60 42 posts | what class are you thinking? aaa/major/plus ? I am in texas - sponsor or player sponsored. how many tourneys month or just the national or worlds? I play outfield right side. I am a little older but not dead. |
| May 22, 2017 sw0099 10 posts | I'm new to this ... I guess AAA to start. Player sponsored but looking for Sponsor. Probably 8-10 tournaments/year. We have a few interested. |
| May 23, 2017 Dancer 115 posts | sw0099 you may want to start at AA, I have played against some 50's AAA teams in Texas, and they are real good players. I think the guys from Louisiana were eating steroids, they were big, LOL. I know if you win a few tournaments you will be bumped up to AAA. I would be interested, but my wife will not let be play on a travel team. |
| May 24, 2017 cyborg45 Men's 75 194 posts | Not sure you have a choice in this matter. As far as I know, all new teams start at the AAA level. After several tournaments, a review will be conducted. If you won all 3 tournaments, playing other AAA teams, and by a margin of 5+ runs, you may be moved up. If the reverse happens, you may be moved down.I suppose you could ask to be placed in Major or Major+ from the outset, especially if you have players rated as such. But most new teams start at the AAA level. |
| May 24, 2017 HAT MAN Men's 50 229 posts | I take it the rules are different for 50s 60s etc then that of 40s??? In 40s all new teams have to start in major, play at least 3 qualifiers and then petition to ssusa to be dropped. Providing scores and teams played against. |
| May 27, 2017 L.Martin Men's 50 47 posts | You don't want to start out in 2A anyway, you will drive to tournaments only to play in a 3/4 team round robin. I've never understood why teams travel all the way to Vegas just to play in a 8 team tournament when they could play 1 level higher and play in a 60 team tournament. |

| June 8, 2017 Dancer 115 posts | I think L Martin so they can play at their level (going to Vegas). I played in a tournament with AAA teams and we even got a run each inning up to 5 innings and still lost all games. The first game I thought the guy was being nice when he said "if it is ok to you, we will be visitors". I thought wow what a great guy letting us be home team. Half way through the game I figure out not such a great guy. When we could not stop them every inning, only the 5 run max stop them, I figure out they just wanted to pile on runs in the buffet. Welcome to senior ball LOL. |
| June 8, 2017 Dancer 115 posts | I am not a homerun hitter but can place the ball. But if the outfield gets to close, I can put it over there head, just not over the fence. Maybe some players here do not like AA division, because I have seen some negativity towards that division sometimes. But it is a division where some people can still play. I can tell you right now, that if the AA division is not there, those teams would be folding if they had to play AAA teams all the time. I don't mind losing, but when you can't even stop a team, it is just no fun anymore. I would love to be on a AA level team. |
